Russia 2018: Croatia will beat Nigeria, says Obradovic

Former Rwanda U-20 Manager, Tomislav Obradovic has said that he is confident Croatia will beat Nigeria in next summer’s World Cup in Russia, AOIFootball.com reports.

The Croatian coach noted that there are no creative and world-class players in the Nigeria squad.

Obradovic is quoted as saying by Sportske Novosti that, “West Africa, where Ghana, Nigeria and the Ivory Coast are the top football teams on that continent, mostly it is a French school. Their problem is not
discipline.

“Almost all of them are very powerful and swift, but for a better result they lack certain player profiles. They have a lot of defensive
players because they are strong, physically dominant, as they have fast wingers.

“But Nigeria has no creative players or real stars. This is our chance because they are key segments, game organization and defensive,” said Obradovic.
